"Bassic" Bassist

Ok guys, we all rage about Wooten, Flea, Clarke, King and Sheehan and all the other flash gits, but what about the bassic (pun intended) 4ths, 8ths, 16ths players. No frills just sitting on the groove.

Donald Duck Dunn. THERE is a man who knows how to play bass. Not flashy, and not so simple that you would ever consider his playing "easy". Playing slow is easy, playing slow and WELL is difficult, and he does it.

i totally forgot all about Johnny Lee, he's not overly basic, but not overly flashy. I love him on Streets of Rock Opera, and Gutter Ballet. And he's one helluva nice guy too. Met him in Tampa. Met Dr. Killdrums too, he works for a Music Store here. Guess his career wasnt too hot though...lol
